Speaking as someone who is happy with the current developments re: CCP actually fixing the spaceships in the spaceship game, as far as I'm concerned walking in stations can get ****** by a pack of lepers.

I only stayed playing eve online this time becuase of captian's quarters like I have said on other threads about walking in stations, and I'm sure many more people would join and stay if walking in stations was released. Just hoping the devs see at least one of my posts eventually to know that while I'm only one person, I'm sure many others feel the same way. Other day when I got a friend to try the game they asked if we could walk around in the station and see each other while docked. Obviously the solution wouldn't be to release WiS all at once, just in segements across expansions as to not anger the rest of the community that wants more and more space content.

WiS already had alot of work done on it, the youtube vid is one of three on WiS from one of the fanfests.

But what will it actually bring to the game other than a "sims" feel. Why do you need to go sit in you captains quarters with a load of your corp members and have fake beer (or whatever youre gonna do) when all youre gonna be doing is chatting in the channel or on a voice server same as what youre doing now. No ones actually saying why they really want it. Youre just giving the same remarks as everyone else. Which is "we want wis coz it gives us something to do other than spin ships"... If perhaps people (and yes well aware some have, very few though) gave idea as to what content it could add to the game, people and perhaps ccp would possibly be less reluctant to look at it.

So far ill ive read in a nutshell is "We want wis because were bored of eve and theres nothing to do. So give us this sim style gameplay that after a month of we will be bored of also"....so you can guarantee some ccp have read that too...



Soz
Because Eve is a very expensive chat client that simulates the actions, situations, and consequences a space borne people might see, WiS should not be created?

CCP started it.They've let the cat out of the bag now and it isn't going back in. Would be nice or hear some official word on whether its happening or otherwise just delete the cq instead of leaving people hanging.

They announced at Fanfest that they've pretty much abandoned the project.

You'll forgive us if we don't take your opinion seriously...but I assure you it has nothing to do with your name being Dub Step.


Must feel great being in the minority and also making judgements based on something as trivial as a character name. I don't take your opinion seriously because you are trying to support a feature that nearly cost CCP a considerable amount of their player-base. If you didn't realise, Hillmar was all 'smug' about the rage and threats to unsub until he realised that it was ACTUALLY HAPPENING. Then they sensibly pulled the plug on this useless development.

Feel free to believe character names are a basis for credibility though.

Players were more pissed about micro-transactions than WiS. All the WiS haters jumped on the bandwagon and tried to claim some kind of victory, and apparently still try.

From my understandng i could be wrong unless they removed all the assets all the station enviroments are still there there is just no npc's So why not just open the door and give it permissions like everytihng else in game and let us work with it they wouildnt have to do much more work other then assigning permissions and mb a little work on a internal intersteller market....

I don't think it's there, nothing is. They had those things at some point, but they were abandoned because they were crap. That is also why they had almost nothing to offer us when incarna initially released. Even if they had them CCP would never release the feature a second time in such an unfinished state. What will propably happen is nothing until CCP decides on a clear plan for the feature and is willing to dedicate the resources necessary to properly implement that plan. Until that time comes the character creator is the only avatar related thing, that might get actual development.

Pretty much, this.^^

in that case you should probably quit EVE until the door is opened

paying at least another year (and quite probably more) for content that simply doesn't exist sounds hilariously stupid to me.

Frankly, the fact that avatars have been completely abandoned at every level (even with almost-ready features about to be released, such as sleeve tattoos), along with Hilmar's surprise at fanfest when the crowd roared about WiS, point that WiS is dead in CCP's minds and they plan to let it die among the community.

There can't be a need for WiS when everyone who ever wanted WiS is no longer a paying customer. And that's what CCP is doing -let us starve until the problem goes away. Straight

As long as i am concerned, i am waiting for World of Darkness. My guess it's that will be the same grim dark sh*t as EVE (Iceland, the land of joy Roll), but with smexy vampire dolls instead of serial manufactured faceless ships. And hang me if i don't feel like rolling a Toreador man-eater. Twisted

Normally i would not even write this (prob shouldnt)

Even if you dont know what to do with wis open the door's let players rent offices etc like we do now but in avatar form let there be a intergalactic market. With streaming prices etc Let people alliances corps open there own shops and let us run it... You dont need to do anything or worry about makeing content for it sense eve is a sandbox why not let us run it? Someone wants to log in for 8 hours a day and run a space bar so be it.....
It would be cool if you went to apply to the corp and had to (if you wanted to) sense you can turn off wis. Be able to go to a corps office and apply in person in a sense. So on so forth or browse the market and watch your ship get pulled into doc. Or sit at the Quaffe cafe and Emote stab face to enemies u podded earler.

Thanks in advance.

If you agree or disagree feel free to leave a comment or flame me ....



What you are suggesting is adding no new content yet will require lots of manpower to accomplish.

In short no thank you , either do WIS with new content or do not touch it and use that same time for new content in space.

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.
